Chapter 28

"Big Brother Zu, you go in and find my father first. Just tell him I'm a friend, and I'll come find you after I finish up here," Ji Xiaoxi said apologetically to Zu An while attending to the patients.

"Alright." Zu An was more than happy to do so; otherwise, if he went in and the stories didn't match, his trick would be exposed.

Since everyone had been drawn to Ji Xiaoxi, the previously crowded entrance of the Ji family was now deserted, and the old chair was empty, clearly indicating that the divine doctor was no longer at the door.

Zu An went to report his purpose, and a servant led him inside, all the way to a courtyard. The servant said to him, "The master is refining medicine inside. You can go in yourself."

The divine doctor usually did not allow these servants to enter the medicine refining area casually. As for whether these outsiders would harm the master, they were not at all worried; no one in the entire Bright Moon City dared to cause trouble here.

Zu An pushed the door open and heard a series of lecherous laughs from inside. His expression immediately became strange. After walking a bit further, he realized that the divine doctor was not refining medicine at all, but lying on a chair, flipping through a suspicious-looking book. It was likely the one someone had bribed him with earlier.

Noticing the occasional evil smile on his face, Zu An couldn't help but wonder how such a lecherous middle-aged man could have a daughter as sweet and obedient as Ji Xiaoxi.

"Hey, you're back so soon? Did you collect the dog treasure?" The divine doctor didn't even look up from the book, as if he had known Zu An was coming.

"No dog treasure," Zu An replied.

"Trying to fool me, huh? Get out, get out, don't disturb my reading." The divine doctor, with his legs crossed, waved his hand impatiently.

Zu An waved a stack of silver bills: "I don't have the dog treasure, but I have silver. Do you want it?"

"Why wouldn't I want money?" The divine doctor shot up from the chair, snatched the silver bills from his hand, and indeed, it was a hundred taels of silver. "You were so poor before, how did you get rich so quickly? Hey, this silver bill looks familiar."

Zu An's face was expressionless. This money lover even remembered the silver bills? This was the silver bill he had obtained from Ji Xiaoxi. Worried that he would be exposed, he quickly said, "I've paid the consultation fee. You should treat me now, right?"

The divine doctor finally put the silver bills in his pocket: "Alright, for the sake of the silver bills, I'll take a look. Take off your pants!"

"Huh?" Zu An was puzzled.

"What are you saying? How can I examine your condition without you taking off your pants?" The divine doctor looked down on him, "You're not a beauty, do you think I want to see?"

"But you already knew my condition just by looking at me earlier this morning, didn't you?" Zu An found it hard to accept the idea of taking off his pants in front of a man.

"I can only tell that you seem to have been sealed, but without a detailed examination, how can I know what kind of seal it is?" The divine doctor pouted, "Take them off if you want, or forget it."

"I'll take them off!" Zu An said with a bitter expression. This was about his future happiness, so he had to put his pride aside. Earlier, when the divine doctor was reading the erotic book, he seemed quite happy, so he probably wasn't a pervert.

"Wow, that's quite unique." The divine doctor laughed when he saw.

Zu An's face turned black, thinking that if he could beat him, he would definitely punch him now.

The divine doctor lay back down: "But don't be too sad. You were affected by the Great Yin-Yang Pulse Sealing Technique since childhood, which has impacted your development. Once the seal is removed, you should return to normal."

Zu An was delighted. It seemed there was still hope. He quickly pulled up his pants: "What is this Great Yin-Yang Pulse Sealing Technique, and how can it be removed?"

The divine doctor replied, "According to my knowledge, it's an extremely powerful and malevolent sealing technique that originated in the palace. To remove it, you need to reach the Grandmaster level, and then you can break through the barrier and remove the seal."

Zu An almost spat blood. After all this, it was still the same answer. What was the point of all his efforts: "I know that. If I could break through to Grandmaster, I wouldn't need you to tell me. Give me my money back, you so-called divine doctor are just a fraud!"

"You're right. There are only a few Grandmasters in the world. Even if you got lucky and broke through, you'd be old and it wouldn't be useful anymore." The divine doctor laughed maliciously, "But since you look so pitiful, I'll tell you. I have another method, but it's extremely difficult."

"What method? No matter how difficult, I'll do it!" Zu An was almost in tears. It was like being in a desperate situation and suddenly finding a way out.

"Tsk, with your abilities?" The divine doctor sneered, "Forget it, I'll think of a way myself. Of course, on the condition that you do something for me, then I'll save you."

"But I already paid the consultation fee," Zu An couldn't help but say.

"What consultation fee? That's just the registration fee," the divine doctor glared at him, "Now I'm charging for the treatment! Have you ever been treated before?"

Zu An finally understood why so many patients gathered at his door every day to complain. But he didn't care about that now and asked urgently, "What do you want me to do?"

"I don't have any other hobbies in life, just collecting the undergarments of beautiful women..." The divine doctor hadn't finished when Zu An couldn't help but give him the middle finger: "I despise you!"

"Don't you want to be treated?" The divine doctor sneered.

Zu An quickly changed his expression: "Big Brother, please continue."

"That's better. If you can get the undergarment of Yu Yanluo from Yunzhong County..." The divine doctor shook his head, "Forget it, you've probably never left Bright Moon City, let alone meet such a divine-like person. How about this, if you can get the undergarment of Qin Wanru, the wife of the Chu family, Shang Liuyu, a teacher at Bright Moon Academy, or Qiuhonglei, the courtesan of Immortal Residence... any one of them will do."

Zu An's eyes widened. He hadn't heard of the last two, but Qin Wanru... He swallowed hard: "Aren't you afraid that Bright Moon Duke will find out you're eyeing his wife and beat you up?"

"Lin Danda? He's nothing to me," the divine doctor said proudly.

"If you're so capable, why don't you get it yourself?" Zu An sneered.

The divine doctor coughed: "As a renowned divine doctor, I have my dignity. I can't do such lowly things. Listen carefully, this is between you and me. If anyone finds out, not only will I deny it, but I'll also spread the word that you can't get it up."

Zu An was furious: "Who can't get it up?"

The divine doctor glanced at his crotch: "If you can, show me now."

"You're not a beauty, I'd be a pervert if I did that in front of you," Zu An said angrily.

The divine doctor put his arm around his shoulder: "Don't be stubborn. Help me, and I'll treat you."

Zu An's face changed, but he finally agreed reluctantly: "Alright!"

For his own happiness, he had to do it!

After leaving, his mind was full of how to complete this difficult task, and he forgot to say goodbye to Ji Xiaoxi.

He hadn't heard of Shang Liuyu or Qiuhonglei, but Qin Wanru... Well...

Zu An thought about the scene in the ancestral hall this morning and couldn't help but comment on the divine doctor's taste. Qin Wanru was beautiful, but her temper was terrible.

Moreover, she was his mother-in-law. If he was caught stealing her undergarment, not only would Chu Zhongtian, but even Chu Chuyan would probably skin him alive.

Thinking of that terrifying scene, Zu An shuddered and immediately gave up the idea.

So, it was left to Yu Yanluo. It was quite a coincidence that he had saved her before, but if he went to her house to ask for her undergarment, would he be kicked out?

Damn, it was all because of that lecherous middle-aged pervert, proposing such a perverted condition.

Not long after he left, Ji Xiaoxi finally finished dealing with the people at the door and rushed to the back yard, only to find her father alone. She was puzzled: "Where is he?"

"Who?" The divine doctor was confused.

"Zu An. Didn't he come in?" Ji Xiaoxi asked worriedly.

"That guy? I already sent him away," the divine doctor looked at his daughter suspiciously, "Do you know him?"

"Yes, I met him on the road, and he helped me," Ji Xiaoxi replied.

The divine doctor's brows furrowed: "Stay away from him. Men are all bad, and I know what they think."

Ji Xiaoxi blushed: "He's different from other men."

The divine doctor realized: "Hehe, indeed, he is different. It's fine for you to be with him."

Ji Xiaoxi understood from his tone that he had already treated Zu An and asked urgently: "Can his condition be treated?"

"Of course it can. Who do you think your father is?" The divine doctor stroked his beard, "But his condition is a bit tricky, and I need to think about it carefully."

Ji Xiaoxi smiled: "If you say it can be treated, it can be. By the way, I found some dog treasures from fierce black wolves. Isn't that what you need for the medicine you're refining?"

The divine doctor was surprised. When he saw that it was indeed genuine dog treasure from fierce black wolves, his expression changed: "You went to Wolf Valley? What if something happened? You didn't need to take such a risk for this!"

He knew that the things he left for his daughter to protect herself could make fierce beasts avoid her, but if she went to kill them, the beasts wouldn't care and she would be in great danger.

Ji Xiaoxi smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, I didn't go myself. I bought it from someone else."

The divine doctor relaxed and asked curiously: "Who is so capable that they could get so many dog treasures?"

"It's Zu An, the one who just came in. Didn't he tell you?" Ji Xiaoxi was puzzled.

"Zu An sold it to you?" The divine doctor suddenly felt something was off and took out the silver bills from his pocket, "How much did he sell it to you for?"

"Ten... twelve taels of silver each," Ji Xiaoxi said hesitantly.

"I'm so angry! That scoundrel sold it to you so expensively!" The divine doctor looked at the silver bills, as if they were mocking him. He never thought that he would be outsmarted by someone he had always outsmarted.

"It's not that expensive. This thing is rare and hard to find," Ji Xiaoxi blushed, thinking that it was good she had lowered the price a bit, or her father might hate Zu An to death.

"How could I have a daughter who is such a money-loser?" The divine doctor, angry at her lack of judgment, walked back to the room, feeling annoyed by her innocent and naive appearance.
